boehner has a weak hand. the fact he has a weak hand is causing something close to a panic among the republican rank and file. >> bret: thank you for that. >> you're welcome. i think that you are seeing republicans freak out a little bit. little bit too prematurely. the ironic thing in some ways it might strengthen boehner's hand in negotiations. if he can go in and say they are going to fire me if i do what you are asking. i can't do that. one thing that barack obama understands is personal preservation and self-politic and it may make boehner a more credible negotiator in this. at the end to day, the republicans have to shoot the hostage and they will probably have to end up raising rates. >> bret: let's take a listen to one of the senators. senator corker over the weekendbe. as jonah mentioned he does front a vote in the house but he was speaking this weekend -- he does not have a vote in house but he was speaking on "fox news sunday." >> once you give him the rate on the top 2% it's lesser tax increase th

boehner authentically doesn't want higher rates. it's a genuine concession by him and by republicans. obama, i think, on truth serum, would agree that significant entitlement reform is something that's necessary, it's something he wants so his concession is actually taking him closer to where he thinks the country needs to be substantively. that is not true of house democrats but with obama, i believe, substantively. chris: i wish you could tell me quickly, why does boehner care so much about the top bracket and the rate? >> because he's authentically a conservative and believes that rates -- higher rates just mean a green light for democrats to expand the role of government. chris: republicans suspect that all democrats want is a larger to spend more money. >> to spend more money and they believe it hinders growth if you have a higher tax rate but you'll see democrats pop up with other issues -- concern about extending unemployment benefits for those out of work the longest which is expensive for the government as well as family fa

it is clear that speaker boehner as needed cover from the right flank before he can agree to any deal with the president. the speaker did not have it before. when the wall street journal editorial page says that it would not go against the anti- tax principles, what more does the speaker need? when he refuses to declare that decoupling would violate the group pledged, what more cover does the speaker need? when more rank-and-file republicans come out every day in favor of passing the senate bill, it gives the speaker the cover he needs. tom cole was the first on the other side to speak the truth of what should be done. he has been on tv almost every day making the case to his party in public and he was dismissed of having a minority opinion. the comments sparked a trend and those that have spoken out publicly, there are probably dozens of others that don't feel free to speak their mind but certainly agree with him privately. the house republican leadership are like generals conquered away in a bunker that don't realize that their army in the field has already laid down its arms. the r
